We’ve always believed in the power of Temporal to help developers build and operate resilient applications with greater ease and efficiency. Today, we’re excited to share compelling, independent validation of Temporal Cloud’s significant business impact.
Temporal commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study on Temporal Cloud. The results are in, and they are impressive: the study found that Temporal Cloud can deliver a 201% return on investment (ROI) over three years for a composite organization.
This comprehensive study, based on interviews with four Temporal Cloud customers, quantifies how organizations can achieve substantial benefits and cost savings.
Key Findings from the Forrester TEI™ Report
The numbers speak for themselves. Here’s a snapshot of the value Temporal Cloud can bring:
- 201% Return on Investment: A clear indicator of the strong financial benefits.
- $2.8 Million Net Present Value (NPV): Demonstrating significant value creation over three years.
- Enhanced Developer Productivity by 15%: Freeing up developers to focus on innovation rather than managing complex infrastructure.
- 50% Faster Time-to-Market for Features: Accelerating innovation and enabling businesses to respond more quickly to market needs.
- Up to Two Avoided Outages Per Year: Improving system reliability, leading to better customer experiences and avoided revenue loss.
- 14-Month Payback Period: Organizations can realize the value of their investment quickly.
Helping Developers and Businesses Succeed
Ultimately, the Forrester study delves into how Temporal Cloud empowers development teams and contributes to broader business objectives. By simplifying the complexities of Durable Execution, Temporal lets developers build reliable, scalable systems more efficiently.
One senior engineering manager in the transportation sector shared, “[Temporal] gives us scalability, reliability, and dependability. It satisfies a peace-of-mind element for us, and it has improved the developer experience.”
The study also highlights how Temporal Cloud enables teams to tackle challenging projects with more confidence. An engineering manager in financial services remarked, “Temporal makes it easy to do hard things. It empowers engineers to write complex code without having to be an expert in distributed systems engineering. … It empowers engineers to do elegant solutions without getting scared of having to maintain it in perpetuity.”
Furthermore, the report notes the ability to accelerate feature delivery. A vice president of engineering in food services stated, “We’ve extended and built business capabilities very quickly with Temporal. [One feature] was going to be a several-month effort. When we built it into our existing Temporal Workflow, it was twelve lines of code, and we spent longer testing it than we did coding it. It took us literally a day to build and then a few weeks to test.”

These findings underscore Temporal’s commitment to providing a platform that not only solves complex technical challenges but also delivers tangible business results. We believe this study provides a valuable framework for organizations evaluating how to enhance their application reliability and development velocity.
